Authorities in at least three states have arrested individuals allegedly impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at a time when real ICE agents have ramped up immigration enforcement efforts under the Trump administration, adding to existing fears of law enforcement among migrant communities.

    Who knew sending unidentified masked domestic terrorists to abduct people off the street into unmarked vehicles could lead to problems?

    Fascism, folks. Always stupid. Always dangerous.

    The literal only difference beetween these kids and ICE is that ICE gets paid.

      Don’t people realize that ICE are the people with masks that don’t have to identify themselves or provide a reason why you should comply and that criminals are the people with masks that don’t have to identify themselves or provide a reason why you should comply? Come on, sheeple.

    “Johnson was charged with three counts of kidnapping and one count each of impersonating a law enforcement officer, petty larceny, assault and battery, according to jail records.”

    This is what cop behavior is legally described as when you aren’t a cop.

    Fucking excellent.

    Well, not the crime and the general scumbaggery, but the more this happens the more justified you’ll be gunning down a random person claiming to be law enforcement as they attempt to illegally detain people. Every time an ice agent dies an angel gets its wings - if it’s from a legally defensible bullet from a patriot they get to cum too.

    Do your part assholes.
